> WTF is wrong with you Appster?
Don’t shit in your pants just now… I’m gonna explain myself.
> Why do you feel the next to throw walls of text at anyone and everyone with your anti-Mozilla 57+ crusade?
Well, this is not exactly “walls of text”… OK, for people who dislike reading certainly is, but otherwise – not really. Secondly, it’s not a crusade. Thirdly, the only thing I am and was talking about is interface customization. I don’t rate the performance or the default interface or the new logo or… You get the point.
> Speak for yourself – you are not a “real” Firefox user, and you are NOT Mozilla running a large complex and expensive software.
WebExtensions do not allow interface customization, so it is fair to say that people who are content with them don’t value interface customization at all. Customization is/was the main selling point of Firefox, the capability that put it ahead of Chrome & competition. If you don’t use/value this, you obviously failed to see the point of Firefox. You could by an UHD TV and only play DVDs on it, which is okay. However, this is not what I would call “valuing” the capability of the product. On the other hand, there are HiFi enthusisats. But have the DVD guys a right to lecture the HiFi enthusiast… Not really, right?
> FF57 has only just entered Nightly, about 11 more weeks before it lands.
Yes, and? Nightly releases are feature-complete as per Mozilla’s definition. Only bugfixes will come after, but no new features.
> And there is more improvement in terms of speed to come. Most comments I have read from users indicate way more than a millisecond, you pedant.
LOL, there could be 1000% improvements and I still wouldn’t care. The things I care about are privacy and interface customization, you troll.
> How dare you tell Neal what he does and doesn’t feel about about 57’s performance. You are NOT him.
I just said that better performance in exchange for actual features is a bad tradeoff IN MY OPINION. I find it ridiculous how people can call that a good deal, but okay. To each their own.
> Mozilla has mapped a path for the long term – this includes many factors, not just speed. And all the reasons why they have done what they have done have been explained, numerous times.
LOL, Mozilla hasn’t followed a clear path for years now. After Australis Photon is just their second change of mood. One factor of Chrome’s success is and was interface stability. I know one thing or two about competition, and honestly… Copying what the competitor has late in the game is not going to make the cut. Anyway. Also LOL to “all their reasons have been explained”… Have you been to Bugzilla recently? In every interface-related thread there was only doomed silence on Mozilla’s part, no explanation to be seen… Aris (the dev of Classic Theme Restorer) even stated that they were not true to their word despite multiple requests of theme-related APIs by him. In reality, they obviously want to preserve brand recognition. The stupid user is not allowed to customize the god-created interface anymore, so that he can’t defile its unspeakable beauty and functionality, so that other believers like Pantsy here can still recognize Chromefox for what it is.
> Bitch somewhere else man.
As if I would take this for serious coming from a Pro-Mozilla TROLL!
> Take your UI obsessive view and shove it.
As if the UI wasn’t the element the user interacts with all of the time… geez… talk about priorities, man.
> Users can quite clearly use ESR until mid 2018
Wow, how generous of Mozilla… Giving its loyal users one shitty ESR cycle truly is great. How could we dare to ask for more?
> by which time you have no idea what the APIs will look like
Well, Mozilla staff was hostile at anything UI-related, so unless they completely fire their staff and hire new guys I don’t believe this will change. Why would they change their stance? There are enough Chrome users out there who don’t value UI customization anyway. Like you, Pan(t)sy.
> they already exceed Chrome, and there are a lot planned.
Would really like to read your source for this one. And by “source” I mean something that exceeds meaningless lip service.
> Hijacking almost every Firefox article on here to rant like a lunatic at everyone just makes you look like a fool now.
Yep, totally a fool. I wouldn’t even dare to compare my stance to the vastly superior opinions of those Chrome(fox) users trolling here. Honestly, you don’t have to read my complaints, as you can already know the main point by now. Likewise I don’t have to read your Pro-Mozilla bullshit, as I also already know your point.
> I think I speak for almost everyone here – just STFU if you can’t stick to the topic.
Yeah, your opinion is totally that of the majority judging by the outcry of many add-on developers as well as users out there. If this decision was not controversial, why is there so much shenanigans made around it? And no, that’s not only *me*… Speaking for everyone is not my strength though, so you could be right. Trying to silence other opinions is not at all surprising though, coming from a Pro-Mozilla TROLL. Why don’t you visit the temples of worship otherwise known as MozillaZine and Firefox Reddit, where critics have already been silenced. You certainly won’t read any “rants” there, other than Pro-Mozilla admiration orgasms (sorry, that’s how I feel about some opinions there, including those of the Mozilla employees acting as would-be enforcers).
